Yeah but seriously... how often do you get weapons sliced??? unless you buy / slice & sell weapons which will soon change because sliced equipment will not be allowed on vendors.. I have 1 weapon Sliced & ADK'd and haven't found a better one yet... even if it wasn't ADK'd it would last a long time so the purpose of me getting a crap load of Slicing loot is pointless...

Loot is meant to be sold/kept. Sell it, give it away if you don't want it.

And what Rumor-mobile did you hear this from?

How often do you get armor sliced? Do you have an armor break slice? How much was it? Do you realize if the loot drops weren't what they were, you'd be paying at least twice that much per sliced piece?.

unless you buy / slice & sell weapons which will soon change because sliced equipment will not be allowed on vendors.. I have 1 weapon Sliced & ADK'd and haven't found a better one yet... even if it wasn't ADK'd it would last a long time so the purpose of me getting a crap load of Slicing loot is pointless...

The purpose of getting a crapload of Jedi CA's is pointless too if you just keep them in your inventory.

Let the smugglers have their market back by letting them loot slicing equipment... We BH's are in the buissness of killing people... PC & NPC and I would like loot that makes it worth while...

News flash: Rarity is what makes loot worthwhile. Do a price check on your server for two "worthless" smuggler items: first check "reactive micro plating." Then check for "shock absorbent padding." See the difference? Now consider this:the micro plating is for the highest level armor break slice while the SAP is for the mid-level slice. That's right--reactive micro plating is actually for the best slice but is much cheaper than the mid-level component.The paradox here is that if you cut the loot drop for smuggler components, smuggler components become high level loot and whatever you replace it with becomes crap regardless of what it is.

I would rather smugglers get slicing loot doing smuggler missions when / if they get a revamp and we get Loot like high lvl +25 CA's & AA's for both combat & crafting professions, BH armor schematics or how about a full set of BH armor not a schematic 6k stats on everything non-sliceable... , Av-21 powerplants, uber weapons that are limited to MBH'sect... because honestly I'm tired of waiting for a droid to report back then traveling half way accross planets like endor wasting more time just to get a few credits and a simple toolkit.... give us some loot thats worth going after.... plz

umm ya sure. We ALREADY have the best loot tables in the game. In 4 days I looted 3 sets of Enhanced Power Cells, which between the 3, went for 25 million (could have gottten 5 or so million more, but im not that greedy). Loot is meant to be random, so getting "UBER l33t l00t" everytime isn't going to happen. Plus, not to mention the nice AA/CAs I got in the process.

Honestly, if you think the loot is "bad" with MBH, try dropping it and going some other Combat Proff and see exactly how good we got it.

Simple solutions:

1. Find a Guild Smuggler and give all your componets to.
2. Advertise all your pieces on the forums in a single lot or so, for 10k/componet. They will move fast, no matter what server you are on.

I sell all the smuggler componets I loot on my vendors for 12,500k/unit. They move faster then I can stock them, well, at least the ICBs and DTAs do. I am on average, 7,500/unit cheaper then 99% of all vendor searchs for those tools. I have sold over 200 of them, so do the math. It adds up.

Besides, Smugglers need love too.

yeah well with adks people arent really trying to get lots of weapons sliced and ive sold tons but havent sold anything in a month cause THEY ARE FING EVERYWHERE

i cant sell them for 5k in stacks of 3

At 15mil + on my server, ADK'd people are becoming more and more rare. There is also a strong respect for the crafters on my server. Outside of weapons, most people that I know do not ADK their armor to keep the crafters in the game. If not for them, we'd not have our equipment.

I'd agree with Ocii though... I am the guild smuggler with my alt, and I offer free slices to any guild member who brings me slicing components. I pay about 10-20k per piece depending on what items they bring me. I price the slices out to non-guild members based on my cost of the items.

On a side note... there was some fool on my server advertising 150k to slice weapons if you bring your own items and 250k if you don't. Being a slicer, I KNOW that there is no cost associated with slicing something if the customer brings you the items required, and only about 1-2min of time. Even if I the slicer uses his personal cache of supplies, the cost is still only around 50-70k max for slicing weapons. That's price gouging in it's purest form!

How often have you experienced the Slice breaking, causing the weapon/armor to be unusable? I suspect it doesn's happen as often as it should. The benefits of having a weapon or armor 100% sliced should result in a fairly frequent failure rate, requiring a Smuggler to repair the item. Which should translate to needing to have an ADKd weapon re-sliced/repaired often (since Slice failure has nothing to do with condition reduction).

Now when Smugglers finallly get Smuggler missions, should they get Slicing Components for their loot? Right now there is a cross-profession dependancy - we have something they need and will buy from us, and they have skills that wee need and will pay for. I wouldn't mind seeing us BH keep the Smuggler loot, and Smugglers getting CAs/AAs as well as the Spices that are suppsoes to become loot-only items.

Slice breakage is non-existant. The devs decided that feature of slicing wasn't worth it and left it out, however the description remains in the game stating the "risk" of getting a slice done.

I don't mind BH missions dropping Smuggler loot. Then again I went MBH/MSM for better game content, the loot's a nice bonus Though personally if I had Smuggler missions I'd probably take on a more conventional Smuggler template.
